Men At Work – Down Under

Down Under lyrics

Travelling in a fried-out Kombi

On a hippie trail head full of zombie

I met a strange lady

She made me nervous

And she took me in and gave me breakfast

And she said

“Do you come from a land down under?

Where women glow and men plunder

Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?

You better run

You better take cover.”

Buying bread from a man in Brussels

He was

Six foot four

And full of muscle

I said, “Do you speak a my language?”

He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich

And he said

“I come from a land down under

Where beer does flow and men chunder

Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?

You better run

You better take cover”

Yeah ah

Lying in a den in Bombay

With a slack jaw

And not much to say

I said to the man “Are you trying to tempt me

Because I come from the land of plenty?”

And he said

“Oh do you come from land a down under

Oh yeah yeah

Where women glow and men plunder

Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?

Ah

You better run

You better take cover.”

Living in the land down under

Where women glow and men plunder

Cadadadada

You better, better run

You better take cover

Living in the land down under

Where women glow and men plunder

Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder?

Ooh yeah

You better run

You better take cover

Living in the land down under

Ooh oh

Where women glow and men plunder
